water leak from rear of engine

Recommended Posts

I went out for a drive today just to the garage to fill up and on the way home my water light came on. i thought it may be the water takeoff o the right side of the head because i had to fix this before but no it is coming from underneath the exhaust manifold, it is a G60 with a fair few miles on it but does anyone know if this is a common problem and what it coud be before i start ripping it apart ?

 

thanks

Could be a core plug in the block come loose or a leak from the head gasket. I don't think there are any hoses round there.

 

You have got antifreeze in the coolant I assume?

i had a look today and it is squirting from the side of the core plug, it has not popped out so i am hoping the block has not corroded !!! i shall bang a new one in and keep my fingers crossed if not i may have to pop in the mig brazing wire and fizz it around the edge.

thank you for your help mate it saved me some poking about :salute:
